Somebody mentioned Barnes. I don't want Sookface anywhere near the Reds.

He should be sacked. Silly boy but substance use is not a black or white issue. I hope he sorts himself out. More at stake than rugby for the bloke here.

Doesn't need to know fark all about the game. Needs a knowledge of the business environment and an ability to manage complex stakeholder networks, including unifying them in the same direction. Less known about the game actually equates to a more objective reform agenda which the game is in...

QLD great and 70+ Wallaby he is and that is why I don't think he is done yet. I'm not defending it one way or the other but I think that is what's happening. I'm a huge Quade fan and I hope it works and we see Quade in a Reds jersey playing the quality rugby we know he is capable of.

See how we go with the Vicar of Dibly but the person I think the ARU badly needs is Bill Kelty but the ARU would have sweet stuff all getting him. https://www.aflsportsready.com.au/about/the-team/patrons-ambassadors/796-bill-kelty-ac

Canberra badly needs it whereas the Sydney situation seems like an overindulgence. Canberra Stadium is plain and simply horrible. In no way does its design suit its environment. With it built into the earth the way it is just lets any heat escape and the cold is just absorbed into the...

@Dru, I think this is a very big and public laying down of a marker. Thorn has clearly said of what he wants in the Reds culture and all the anecdotal evidence points to Cooper fitting into that plain. Cooper has a good reputation for "caring". The problem I think might be that for several...

Quade will be seen in a Reds jersey again in 2018. There is more to this than we know.

It can be done and it is something that would get buy in from the Commonwealth and State governments if spread across the country. Marketed correctly the economic spinoffs will far exceed revenue on attendance. Work it in conjunction with our niche tourism market. Imagine a RWC game in the Red...

Settle down pretty darlings. It was a joke. I actually like the appointment as it breaks away from the inner circle traditional wankeraty. Having an outside perspective is what I have been calling for. Tounge in cheek does not speak to Miss Castles ability, just that she is a dead ringer...

I still have my UBU Quade Cooper t-shirt that came in the membership pack a few years back. Never worn it but it makes a great polishing rag and brings a shine to the car nicely.

Only the ARU could appoint the Vicar of Dibly as its CEO.

I like the way the Reds are getting out and selling the big issue. Good little video on their website front page.

We are all chewing the fat on this but at the end of the day, what is known is so vague, we just don't have a clue what is going on. I hope it all points to Cooper remaining a Reds and develops a good professional relationship with the new coach. This not being played out in a highly public...

So now we are putting stock in the utter shit that comes out of Greg Martin's mouth.

The mob who's silence is so alarming in this saga is RUPA. What kind of a gutless, unrepresentative Muppet apparatchik are they? Are they representing the players (workers) here which is exactly what a union is meant to do. The timing of this action should raise a genuine grievance for RUPA...

Just go full nuclear. There will be blood shed but surely anything has to be better than this death by a thousand cuts we have now.

Cooper is still contracted to the Reds. I don't think we have seen the last of him in a Reds jersey. I think Thorn is laying down a marker here to Cooper. As a player, Cooper has not played with confidence for some years and I think Thorn in a blunt way is indicating that he needs to harden...

Sounds like a bit of bullshit going on here. This doesn't make much sense and people may have jumped the gun on what is happening, whatever that may be. It is all pretty cryptic. It's early days and Quade is still contracted to the Reds.

Quade will get the gig but he will be expected to rectify his defense
